Bury 0 Sheffield United 3: Cresswell leads way for Blades

Sheffield United cemented their second-place spot in League One when they returned from over the Pennines with all three points from Bury.

Winger Ryan Flynn is available again for the Blades after recovering from illness but was left out by manager Danny Wilson. Bury include midfielder Giles Coke after his loan move from Sheffield Wednesday.

Richard Cresswell broke the Bury resistance on 54 minutes, breaking the offside trap after good work from Kevin McDonald.

Further goals from Ched Evans and Lee Williamson put the Blades in complete control.

With city rivals Wednesday losing to Charlton, it means United pulled four points clear of their neighbours.
